I have decided to turn of XP's Indexing Service on my HD and when I
did that, while it was "applying attributes" to everything on the HD
I got Errors for about 10 files. The Error was "Access is denied."

Two examples of two of the errors:

C:\ProgramFiles\CommonFiles\Ado...\ActiveX

C:\WIN...ADOBEUPDATER.EXE-1AB51BCE.pf

I kept hitting Ignore and saved the first few error windows and then
finally just hit Ignore All.

Have I broken something?

I also went into Services and Disabled Indexing Services there. Is
this OK?

Hi JD,
Your computer may be infected with viruses and malwares, so try to
clean up by scanning on line for both.
For scan online go here:

http://www.trendmicro.com
For malwares:
install, then run the updates to get the new definitions and scan for
malwares:

BTW, Adobe extension will end with PDF not PF, the spyware would like
to trick you and your system.
HTH.

That's silly advice; where the heck do you get that idea from? Rhetorical,
don't answer.

So can you or dave explain for me what can help the OP in this matter,
C:\WIN...ADOBEUPDATER.EXE-1AB51BCE.pf, if it doesn't belong to Adobe PDF and
I can't see Adobe will create a profile and call it something else rather
than PDF.
And nobody asked if the OP have Adobe or not?.
HTH.
Let us know.
